Amazing.. I bought my current car for less than $4k.. I guess people like fancy cars a lot more than not drowning in debt. Living below ones means is very unfashionable.

It's time to stop using that one actual protocol that every phone has native support for, don't need ANYTHING but you having a phone subscription and is not a walled garden or in the hands of a single organization? Yes that sounds

My car is using the rotation of the front wheel axle to infer the speed. So it depends on tire diameter (tire type and wear), air pressure, temperature, and the precision of the mechanics involved, and it's generally nonlinear (differe

This article is absolutely fantastic, and a must-read! I disagree with the premise "every generation has a level of tech they're comfortable with and anything new becomes foreign". To be honest, I'm not even sure I think

My first computer, Olivetti M24sp had a beautiful amber monitor. I don't have that anymore, but I have an IBM 5155, it also has a beautiful amber monitor, and there's something magic about staring into that dark-brown void and see

Ah, apologies! In that case, I, well, that's a bit hard.. You might be able to find something that you find fun but are unable to get good at ? For a while, I played the game Osu! Because I really couldn't get good, but it was sti

I use standard domestic storage shelving, like these https://www.bauhaus.dk/trestles-lagerreol-max-1000-kg-b23 For machines and monitors, I have 4 of them in a large walking in the living room, and another 4 in the office.

I think it's scary that your entire motivation to want to have fun seems to be so that you can get more energy to work. I don't know though, for me, it's playing computer games, watching movies, driving motorcycles and hiking

Wow! That's going to change.. what exactly, when you're already at maximum piracy, and it becomes legalized?

It's right behind me, unfortunately, due to lacking ISP, I'm currently jumping some hoops[1] to have online. I have OpenVPN and Docker, rest runs as containers. Mail (Postfix, Dovecot, Spamassassin) Web: Nginx (serving sites and d

Here in Denmark, it's new years tradition to watch this on NYE, it's about as important as the Queens new years address. Also, it _NEVER_ stops being fun* [*] Legally required to hold this opinion.

I don't think the signature is meant to verify that you are you.. Just like locks are not really to keep out thieves. Signatures and locks are thresholds.. You knowingly, intently, explicitly and provable overstepping that threshold wh

I want to like this, but there's something conflicting about "thoughtful content" and being forced to throw it away (or have your post become extremely long). If I put thought and effort into writing something relatively long

I'd say go for it anyway, there's pleasing aesthetics to be had, both to look at, to hear and to understand. Sure, you might not come out the other side and "getting it" but I wonder how many really do.. But it's a

I agree, the tech is actually wonderful. The problem is not that it provides new opportunities, the problem is determining which of these opportunities are acceptable to pursue, and under which circumstance. I don't like the "this

Yeah, nothing beats having a full set of high quality combination wrenches.. For the often used sizes, I also keep ratchet versions because they're convenient.. But wrenches alone is no good, you need a good socket set too, lots of pla

Yes you are right. If my VPS is broken, I don't lose any secrets, and it does not permit any additional access into my LAN or VPN. For plain HTTP, of course all traffic would be easily intercepted and readable. For HTTPS, I guess an at

My impression is that when they look to buy, they get whatever is the best fit for them at that moment.. (maybe biased by various "gifts" and such to the right people) When it's time to upgrade the old stuff, the process happ

That seems unlikely to be honest.. just grab an old one if you don't want to use your main one for it.. but if it's cron, its probably not so important that it can't survive missing a single run due to some reboot or whatever
